The battle of words will resume this Sunday April 14 when the Guyana Association of Scrabble Players (GASP) host the Amaila Falls Hydro Inc open tournament at the Malteenoes Sports Club, Thomas Lands and the nation’s top word formers will battle it out for top honours.
With national champion, Abigail McDonald’s absence for two tournaments on the trot, James Krakowsky and Moen Gafoor had ruled the roost finishing first and second respectively. McDonald returned for the last staged GASP Open about two weeks ago and carted off the spoils. This weekend, she will try to replicate that feat in what is building up to be a heated battle of wits.
Other than those three players, several others will throw in their lot, all with ambitions of winning lucrative prizes donated by the sponsors. The distaff group will be represented by Ruby Cummings, Grace Hercules, Yvonne Murray and a host of others while Orlando Michael, Maurice Munru, Leon Belony, Michael Benjamin and Wayne Cave among others will comprise another group of hopefuls, all with an eye on the top prize.
Attractive prizes will be won by the top three finishers while there will also be a special prize for the best player outside of the top 10 ranking. The registration process gets underway at 09:45hrs while the tournament commences at 10:00hrs sharp. Those players arriving on time for the registration will pay $500 while latecomers will pay $200 more. Persons with boards and clocks are asked to make a special effort to have them at the venue by 09:30hrs.
LISTEN HOW JAGDEO WILL MAKE ALL GUYANESE RICH!!!
